Saturday
announced
the
opening

This
concern
has
been
represented
locally
by
C.
F.
Kriz
for
the.
past
three
years,
but
due
to
the
large
volume
of
business
in
the
Mason

area,
the
branch
office
was
opened
to
give
more
complete
service.
The
office
will
be
under
the
management
of

Stotesbery,
formerly
of

The

--if

are
any

go
by.
Monday
when

sent
out
a
call
for
a
gang
of
100
men
for
summer's
employment
on
the
railroad,
only
10
men
reported
for

The
indication
would
seem
that
the

situation
is
not

bad.
More
men
responded
later
in
the

however,
whan
the
